“GET PAID TO TRAIN”
. . .
This was a quote I read today on a sponsored post in my Instagram feed advertising the “perks” of becoming a personal trainer. The second perk down the list was “LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE”.
. . .
This type of thinking about personal training is what hooks in SO many gym-goers to taking their personal enjoyment of fitness to the professional level. Quick online course and then BAM 💥 You get to be paid to do the things you love/already do - workout & be healthy !
. . .
Sounds like a sweet deal right? Think again. Personal trainers are not inherently athletes. We are NOT paid to train and a healthy lifestyle is not guaranteed. We ARE paid to train OTHER people and there are added elements of convenience for leading a healthy lifestyle (i.e ‘free’ gym access, no travel time to gym, working on our feet, etc.)
. . .
But these two “perks” are just as much of a personal choice for trainers as anyone... The job does not require you to...
▪️Train in between clients or after your 8hr shift running about the gym floor delivering fitness instruction, cleaning & picking up weights.
▪️Bring in your meal prep and wait to eat it instead of grabbing quick sugary snacks to keep energy levels up after 4-6hrs back-to-back clients.
▪️Put your mental health first and take days off/arrange your schedule in a way that fosters healthy sleep patterns & a social life.
. . .
These things are all CHOICES and they can be very difficult considering how time-consuming and draining the job is with the working hours ranging from 6am-11pm (weekends included). So before you get swayed by these “PT perks” - think whether you REALLY want to help other people get fit... or if you just want to keep fitness as a personal passion 🖤

So here we are the final day of 16 weeks. Iv watched this woman work harder than any person I know consistently every single day from the moment she committed to the process. Her diet has been far from easy at times and Iv often questioned if even I’d have had the heart and passion to see it through with the determination she has-and I like to think I know how to push. She’s faultlessly shown me and our children exactly what’s possible when you have the heart, desire and drive and to get to where you want to be.

This hasn’t been easy, don’t get me wrong we’ve had a few bumps in the road and with me being off season and eating like a deprived cheesecake goblin (that’s a real creature) it’s been far from easy but in truth nothing compared to what most encounter and I can truthfully say we’ve stuck together and worked through the tougher times together, as one, like we do best!! -
Let’s not forget we run a business, claire also runs the house and takes care of our 3 children and it was only 13 months ago she was carrying our youngest daughter waiting to give birth to her so to even be in shape at this point is amazing, but to look like she does today? Fuck, it just blows my mind!!!! 🤯💗

Proud to support her, proud to call her my wife and proud to be the guy she’s chosen to share this and all of lifes experiences with....... ITS TIME TO SHINE PRINCESS 💗💪🏼💗💪🏼💗
